Back up or restore data on your Nexus device

You can back up content, data, and settings from your Nexus device to your Google Account. You can restore your backed-up information to the original device or to another Android device.

Restoring data varies by device and Android version. You can't restore a backup from a higher Android version onto a device running a lower Android version. If you're restoring data with a device that's not a Nexus, see the manufacturer's support site.
